Our guest this week is the wonderful Shoshana Gottlieb. She is a writer, thinker, educator and the brains behind the instagram page: Jewish Memes Only. 

If you have instagram and you’re not following her, do yourself a favour. She's got a steady stream of white-hot memes that will measurably improve your day.

We had a blast making this episode - we hope you enjoy!

  • “Hashem gives it the physical world existence and animates it by
    the vitality and light which He causes to flow and shine forth unto it— a
    light that is clothed, hidden and concealed within the numerous and
    powerful garments, which hide and screen the light and vitality, so that
    no light or vitality whatever is visibly revealed, but only corporeal and
    physical things that appear lifeless. Yet they contain light and vitality
    which constantly give them existence ex nihilo, that they shall not revert
    and become nothing and nought as they had been.”
